Using round-nose pliers, form a simple loop (approximately 1/8 inch diameter) on one end of the wire to form an eyepin.

Repeat to make four eyepins.

Strand 1

STEP 3

Using wire nippers, cut a 16-inch length of Accu-Flex professional-quality beading wire. String one crimp tube and a 1/2 inch piece of French wire onto the wire. Pass the wire through an eyepin made in Step 2, then back through the crimp tube, leaving one end of the wire approximately 1-inch long. Pull the crimp tight against the French wire and the eyepin so the French wire is formed in a nicely curved tube. Place a small amount of adhesive inside the crimp (optional).

Using the crimping pliers, crimp the crimp tube. Using wire nippers, trim the excess wire from the short end.

String onto the beading wire one of each of the following:

STEP 5

Pass the beading wire through a second eyepin and back through the crimp tube. Then pull the wire snugly so the crimp and the French wire are closer to the eyepin. Make sure there is no slack along the length of the first part of the necklace. Place a small amount of gel adhesive inside the crimp (optional).

Using the crimping pliers, crimp the crimp tube. Using wire nippers, trim excess wire from the end.

STEP 17

String one gold cap, wide end first, onto one of the eyepins on one end of one beaded section. Form a wrapped loop on the top of the cone to secure it in place.

Repeat on the other three eyepins.

STEP 18

Using scissors, cut two 4-1/2 inch lengths of cord. Place a gold-plated bend style cord tip onto one end of one cord. Using a pair of chain-nose pliers gently bend the prongs around the cord. Repeat to add a cord tip to each end of both lengths of cord.

STEP 19

Using two pairs of chain-nose pliers, open a jumpring. Pass the open jumpring through a wrapped loop on top of two of the bead caps, and through the loop on one of the cord tips. Close the jumpring. Repeat to attach the opposite two bead caps to a cord tip on the opposite cord.
